 .....This will also bring the car up to a decent modern car level. ........

Cheers


A Decent modern level?? isn't that what makes a challenger a challenger or a cuda a cuda? the LOW PROFILE!! OMG  sorry I am catching this thread a little late and I know it is about goodys awesome new wheels and tires   :2thumbs:  but I just couldn't let this one go by without commenting about it! sorry! I happen to like the look of the low profile I don't know about you other guys but that is kind of one of the reasons I purchased MY chally! and also it is NOT a modern car!! again OMG!!
sorry about the rant!

MUCH better than the old black wheels. The old black wheels looked nice too though.

:iagree:

I usually do not care for the larger wheels on older cars, but since those tires still have plenty of side wall, I think they look great.    :picture:

I was thinking about getting some different wheels.  I might consider something like that in the future.  Great combination for your Cuda.   :2thumbs:

Come to the dark side  :grinyes: they have plenty o-sidewall. 27" tires up front, 28.5" tires on the back. 17/18" Rims. I absolutely love how they look, fit, stance, everything  :burnout:

K couple more  :bigsmile: Drove it around all day today, well a good 70miles or so. All seems well, no signs of rub. Fronts are close, but close works.  :bigsmile:

Just turn slowly. :biggrin:

I'm going to have 19s in the front and 20s in the rear as well as a height drop, I'm going to have to take U turns very slowly. :-\

How close is your father's ride to rubbing? I assume the lips are rolled for extra clearance?

my only complaint with 19 and 20s. Is the lack of tire, you head in the rubber band territory. So i stuck with smaller rims, but still kept meat on em. just my  :2cents:!. My dads car doesnt rub.......air-ride my friend  :grinyes: :thumbsup:

I dont think i could lower mine anymore, which i'm good with actually. It looks just how i wanted it to  :cheers:
